• Gabriella Taylor → 2016 Wimbledon Championships  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete (does not relate)

The redirect should be deleted because it does not relate directly to the subject. Taylor may not have her own page, but that is little reason to redirect to the 2016 Championships' main page simply because she played a small part in them (particularly the main page as opposed to one more specific to the part of the draw played in by Taylor). This is not common practice within tennis pages and is simply confusing and pointless. --Dalek194 (talk) 23:07, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per WP:CHEAP. Even a loose association like this can be useful.- MrX 00:01, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Retarget to 2016 Wimbledon Championships – Girls' Singles where she is mentioned. The main page doesn't give any details, but at least the Girls Singles page shows her in stats. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 02:43, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Agreed; this is a solution which makes a significantly more substantial connection between the title and the page that it redirects to. What happens now? Dalek194 (talk) 15:01, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:XY, multiple plausible targets and search results would reveal those targets. She's also mentioned in 2014 Wimbledon Championships – Women's Singles Qualifying, 2016 ITF Women's Circuit (January–March), 2016 Aegon Surbiton Trophy, 2015 Aegon Ilkley Trophy, 2017 Wimbledon Championships – Women's Doubles Qualifying, 2016 Abierto de Puebla, 2017 Aegon Surbiton Trophy, 2017 Aegon Ilkley Trophy, 2015 ITF Women's Circuit (October–December), 2015 Aegon Surbiton Trophy, 2014 US Open – Girls' Doubles, 2016 Aegon Classic Birmingham – Singles, 2014 Wimbledon Championships – Girls' Doubles, etc. (there's several more). By redirecting to just one of these articles, it'd be harder for a reader to find other articles where she's mentioned. Is that enough to be notable? Probably, so WP:REDLINK deletion would also be helpful. -- Tavix ^(talk) 02:45, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Tavix. Deryck C. 10:07, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Dash, Alexander → Alexander Dash  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Pointless redirect, It's never been called "Dash, Alexander" so I'm rather confused as to its creation ? .... Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 17:43, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Washin → Tropical Storm Washi  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Unlikely spelling error; might as well redirect to "Washing". Target article does not assert "Washin" as an alternate name for Tropical storm Washi. Confusing for people searching for "Washington" or "Washi" paper, as this entry pollutes results displayed dynamically in the search box. — JFG ^talk 16:28, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom and it's just wrong. Legacypac (talk) 01:44, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as unlikely typo, I would have expected a redirect to someone's name like Wa Xin,Wa Shin, or Wassin, Wasshim, but Washi isn't even close. Consider Washing AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:23, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Donald Trump's Russian related business dealings → Business projects of Donald Trump in Russia  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Implausible search term; target article was renamed a long time ago, and we have better redirects starting with "Donald Trump" for people to find the subject from the search box: Donald Trump's affiliations with Russia and Donald Trump business ties with Russia — JFG ^talk 07:08, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was retarget to Velgarth#Kyree. Retargeting addresses the concerns in the delete !votes so far. If there are any objections to this outcome, I'm willing to reopen the discussion. (non-admin closure) – Uanfala 12:35, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Kyree → Kyrie  (talk · links · history · stats)     [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ] 

Delete I find no evidence the Christian prayer is spelled this way. These redirects are part of a series of random redirects requested by 47.151.26.64 (talk · contribs) that seem to be pulled out of a baby name book, and point to random destinations without regard to the topic of the destination. (ie. Zyaire once pointed to the country of Zaire) 65.94.42.131 (talk) 06:57, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete – Totally unrelated to destination page. — JFG ^talk 07:18, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to Kyrie Irving or Kyrie (given name) as how it's pronounced and Irving is referred by his given name as often as LeBron. There is also a Kyree Walker a high school basketball player that isn't Wikipedia-notable. [1] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:27, 15 July 2017 (UTC) updated 16:32, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Retarget to Velgarth#Kyree which mentions a race called the Kyree. Granted it's fictional, but it's about the only Kyree that's shown up so far. Perhaps Kyree (disambiguation) or Kyree (given name) can be created when there are more notable ones. A "redirects here" can be added for Kyrie.

Delete "Madeline" is a media franchise from children's literature and is spelled "Madeline". These redirects are part of a series of random redirects requested by 47.151.26.64 (talk · contribs) that seem to be pulled out of a baby name book, and point to random destinations without regard to the topic of the destination. (ie. "Marleigh" once redirected to the reggae star "Bob Marley" ) -- 65.94.42.131 (talk) 06:37, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete – Unrelated to destination page. — JFG ^talk 07:19, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget all to Madeline (disambiguation)Madeleine (name) which discusses the name and has some of the variants. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 18:29, 15 July 2017 (UTC) updated 19:26, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @AngusWOOF: Those would be non-matching redirects to a disambiguation page. A better retarget would be Madeleine (name). Cheers! bd2412 T 19:02, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

That one's better. Weird that wasn't on the dab page. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:26, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Retarget to the name article. This is one of those names with numerous spelling variations and (as far as I know) no single standard spelling, so we ought to have a bunch of the spellings be bluelinks. Nyttend (talk) 00:36, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
